Click on your profile photo in the top right corner and select **My Settings**. 2. Navigate to the **Account** tab. 3. Click on **Two-Factor Authentication**. 4. Verify your password when prompted. 5. Scan the displayed QR code using an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator). 6. Enter the verification code generated by the app to complete the setup. **Note**: If you previously signed in using Google SSO, you'll need to set a password by selecting "Forgot My Password" during login to enable 2FA. --- #### Biometric Authentication on Mobile Devices Asana's mobile applications support biometric authentication for added security:​ - **Supported Biometrics:** Fingerprint and facial recognition, depending on device capabilities. - **Setup:** Users can enable biometric authentication within the Asana mobile app settings. - **Functionality:** Once enabled, users can access the app using their registered biometric data, streamlining the login process. --- #### Biometric Authentication on Desktop As of now, Asana does not support biometric authentication on desktop applications. Users are required to log in using traditional methods such as passwords, SSO, or 2FA. - [Cirface FAQs: Pricing, Training, Support, and More](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Pricing & Billing](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#pricing-billing) - [Training & Learning Paths](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#training-learning-paths) - [Support & Post-Implementation Resources](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#support-post-implementation-resources) - [Service Details & Deliverables](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#service-details-deliverables) - [Region & Scheduling](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#region-scheduling) - [Asana License Management](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [License Procurement & Ordering](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#license-procurement-ordering) - [License Onboarding & Account Access](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#license-onboarding-account-access) - [SSO, SCIM, and Security Setup](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#sso-scim-and-security-setup) - [Seat & License Management](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#seat-license-management) - [Sales & Demo Resources](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pre-Call Prep](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#pre-call-prep) - [Product & Services Overview](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#product-services-overview) - [Buyer FAQs & Decision Support](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#buyer-faqs-decision-support) - [Services Onboarding](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Post-Signature Welcome](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#post-signature-welcome) - [Kickoff Prep & Discovery](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#kickoff-prep-discovery) - [Project Delivery & Engagement](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#project-delivery-engagement) - [Enterprise Admin Enablement](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security & Compliance Controls](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#security-compliance-controls) - [Organization Settings & Configuration](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#organization-settings-configuration) - [AI Security & Compliance](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#ai-security-compliance) - [Migration & Upgrades](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#migration-upgrades) - [Training & Adoption](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/training-adoption?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Executive Visibility](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/training-adoption?hsLang=en#executive-visibility) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.cirface.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cirface/%5BCirface%5D%20Logo%20and%20Branding/Cirface_Blue%20Yellow%20-%201920.png?width=60&height=24&name=Cirface_Blue%20Yellow%20-%201920.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://cirface.com/) [mailto:info@cirface.com](mailto:info@cirface.com) Copyright © 2025, Cirface
